Borealis Backpack
Borealis Backpack
Backpack · School / Campus / Daily Commute / Trail

When we built the Borealis, we had one goal — create the ultimate daypack. 25 years later, its legacy continues. Originally designed with the organization needed for a full day on the trail, it has since become a classic on campus and on the job. Celebrated for its iconic bungee straps, comfortable FlexVent™ suspension system and protective compartments for your most important items, there's no limit to where you'll go. Spacious but light. Sturdy but balanced. This isn't just a backpack. This is the Borealis.

FlexVent™ Suspension System
Certified by the American Chiropractic Association — features articulated shoulder straps, a rounded back panel, comfortable stitch lines and soft-touch chemise fabric for all-day comfort.
Iconic Bungee Compression System
External bungee-compression straps with clips on the front, plus side bungee cords and bottom compression — load it down or cinch it tight depending on the day's haul.
Stand-Up Design
Structured build sits upright on its own, even when fully loaded, so packing and unpacking is faster and easier.
Protective 16" Laptop Compartment
Dedicated padded compartment fits laptops up to 16" — keep your tech safe and easy to pull at security or between classes.
Spacious Main + Organized Front Compartment
Large main compartment fits books and binders. Front compartment has internal organization with secure-zip pockets and a padded tablet sleeve.
Fleece-Lined Top Pocket
External fleece-lined pocket for sunglasses, phone, or keys — keeps your screen and lenses scratch-free.
Dual Water Bottle Pockets
Two durable side pockets easily fit water bottles and double as multi-use stash pockets. Quick-draw smartphone access on one side.
YKK® Zippers + Padded Top Handle
Easy-to-use YKK® zippers throughout, with a comfortable padded top grab handle for grabbing off a hook or carrying one-handed.
Sternum Strap + Removable Waist Belt
Sternum strap with built-in whistle buckle for stability on the move. Removable waist belt adds load control when you need it and tucks away when you don't.
Abrasion-Resistant Boot Fabric
Coated, abrasion-resistant recycled polyester boot fabric on the bottom — shrugs off scuffs, mud, and wet pavement when you set the pack down.
Reflective Detailing
Reflective accents boost visibility in low-light conditions — commutes at dusk, late walks across campus, or early-morning trailheads.

Spot Clean Only
Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and stains. Do not machine wash or machine dry — this can damage the fabric, DWR finish, and structural panels.
Air Dry
If the pack gets wet, open all compartments and hang in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight, which degrade fabric and color over time.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving in a hot car or damp environment for extended periods.
Zipper Care
If zippers stick, work them open and closed gently. A graphite pencil rubbed lightly along the teeth can help — avoid oils or lubricants that stain the fabric.
Boot Fabric Care
The coated bottom fabric is built tough — brush off dried mud and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents that can break down the coating.
DWR Refresh
The water-repellent finish wears over time. To refresh, apply a spray-on DWR treatment designed for technical fabrics.

Passion drives us

At SpokeX Bike Co., bikes aren't just our business — they’re our way of life. As a rider-owned and operated shop, every decision we make comes from firsthand experience on the trail, at the race, and on the open road. We know what it’s like to chase a new line, push through the pain cave, and celebrate the ride — because we live it every day.
